All kicking off on Wednesday. This is a real tricky game for Cavan. Given the game is in Derry there will be a small Cavan crowd. Derry are going well at senior and have 3/4 u21s on that team including the superb Enda Lynn. Although Cavan have a squad of classy players ive some concerns. First we don't seen to score easily and hit shed loads of wides in the Hastings cup. I'm also wondering about the steel in the team and maybe the leadership with the likes of Fergal Flanagan out. Should be an interesting one. In going for a draw.

Enda Lynn isnt U21. Ciaran Mc Faul and Conor Mc Atamney were the only two U21s on display yesterday for Derry.

[rodney trotter]

Lynn would be around 24/25? Should be a good game on Wednesday.

Eh, not sure who I'm thinking off then. Carry on.

Tyrone are favourites for this followed by Cavan. Derry aren't bring given a life at all which is a bit strange as they have a very decent side.

[rodney trotter]

It is strange as they home advantage  against Cavan and as you say a very decent side on paper. They were highly rated at Minor level but were beaten by Fermanagh. Might have been complaceny or just beaten by the better side on the day. Will expect a very close game on Wednesday, hopefully cavans experience of winning 3 u21's titles will be the difference.

Complacency played a bit part that day.

Fermanagh played well but Derry should not have lost that game.

[Rawhide]

Derry have no chance, their preparations have been poor, whilst Cavan on the other hand have played in a pre season tournament, have a had all their under 21squad together now for eight weeks and that includes players who are senior players have been committed to the u21 squad. Derry u21s have played a few challenges and have not had anything close to a full squad in any of the games, also they had u21 players playing yesterday for the senior, others travelled to Cork with the squad, they will be not be fully recovered for a championship game on Wednesday, poor form from the Derry senior management in my view. Two teams, one is prepared with a view to winning the competion, the other thinks they are prepared.

A Derry win then for me.

Derry also have Ryan Bell who is brilliant, the glen and slaugtneil minors from the last few years and a few from the st pats team. Hopefully we can make these players work well together because we have some top players there.
